CHARM Services

Providing an outlet for residents to recycle or properly dispose of household hazardous wastes is part of the statutory mandate of a Solid Waste District. Maintaining these services is a high priority for district personnel. CHARM services change year to year with the changing needs of society and the costs involved in providing these services. Please review this information carefully to check on materials collected, costs of recycling or disposal, and dates of operation before loading your vehicle.

What You Can Recycle At CHARM

CHARM will be open rain or shine; it is a drive thru facility under cover. No reservations are necessary. Drive to 1100 S. Detroit St., in Bellefontaine, enter the parking lot and then follow the route to the CHARM building marked with traffic cones on the property. Allow us to unload your vehicle, weigh materials where there is a per pound charge, receive your payment (if any), provide you with a receipt, and you are on your way.

Payments We Accept. You can pay with cash, credit card, or check made out to the Logan County Treasurer.If you have any questions about materials accepted, or fees, carefully read instructions on this web site or call 599-1253.

HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTES DISPOSAL FEES

Household Hazardous Wastes (HHW) can only be accepted from households by Ohio EPA rule.

No HHW materials can be accepted from small businesses, schools, farm operations, non-profit groups, churches, or governmental agencies. This restriction applies only to HHW materials and not to any other items collected at the CHARM service.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

Bring these materials in their original containers. All materials in containers must have labels. Unknown, unlabeled materials will not be accepted.

Hair treatments and fingernail polish remover accepted. NO PRESCRIPTIONS and NO OVER-THE-COUNTER MEDICATIONS OR PILLS ACCEPTED.

ELECTRONICS

NOTE: All electronics can be taken to the District Office at 1100 S. Detroit Street Monday through Friday, (between 9:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.) year-round. Electronics will also be accepted at CHARM, but there is no reason to wait for a special day, or to wait in line to recycle electronics.

These materials can be dried by removing the lid and allowing them to air dry or by mixing with sawdust, cat litter, or ‘floor dry’. The best method is to use all the material on the job with nothing left over but the container. Please check your paint cans before bringing them to CHARM. Empty paint cans and solidified paint in cans can be disposed of in your household trash.
